The percentage of Americans without health insurance just hit an all-time low. The percentage of Americans that do not have health insurance now sits at 8.6%, the lowest on record, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
According to 2010 data released by the United States Census Bureauâs Current Population Survey, Texas has the highest rate of uninsured people of any state, with 24.6 percent of Texas residents, or 6.2 million people, uninsured. That means one out of every four people in Texas live without health insurance. The 2010 average uninsurance rate nationally, for comparison, is16.9 percent, nearly eight percentage points below the Texas rate. On a more positive recent note, the number of uninsured Texans decreased by 250,000 from 2009 to 2010.
